Mr Jack M Lee Dead.
Scranton, March 17:?Relatives
and friends here attended the funeral
services of Mr Jack M Lee,
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at
the family burial ground. Rev J W
Truluck conducted the funeral
services.
Mr Lee was a prosperous farmer
of the Pleasant Grove section and
was about sixty years old. A
large circle ot relatives survive to
mourn his loss.
Following is the tribute paid to
the deceased by The Florence Daily
Times in its issue of March 17:
"Information was received in the
city yesterday that Jack M Lee, one
of the best known men in the county,
especially among the politicians,
had died suddenly that morning.
He had been in bad health for
some time but his end was not expected
for a long time yetffco come.
Everybody Joved "Uncle Jack," he
was one of the kindest hearted
and most lovable men in the county,
and never a man could say that
"Uncle Jack" ever did him a mean
trick.
He loved politics and politicians
and he has iong been known as the
"King of Pleasant Grove." He \yas
a man every politician wanted on his
side and he was a good worker.
In his community Jack Lee's influence
lay in the fact that he was the
leader in all constructive work for
fhA AAmmnnitu Mo hQrJ hoH

opportunities himself, but he wanted
the children growing up around
him to have all that they could get.
He leaves nine children: the oldest
son, Bonneau, is in the army; L L is
working in the West, probably in
Oregon; Luther is in Sumter; Irbyand
Lide are at home. The daughters
are: Mrs Fred McClam of Lake City,
Mrs W H Medlin of Darlington, Mrs
Josh Langston of this county, at
Sardis, and the baby, Miss Janie, a
young lady of about sixteen, at
home.

Picked Up Daring the Week by i
Oar Wideawake Scribe. 9
White Oak, March 17:?Mr and <
Mrs Lawrence A Eaddy of Leo spent '
the week-end with the former's son, .
Mr A R Eaddy, and family.
After spending a few weeks pleas- i
antlv here, Mr M S Buffkin has re- i
turned to his new home at Claren- 1
don. N C. s
Mr Jas P Sauls, a former "twig" i
of White Oak, but for the past sev- i
eral years a resident of Lake City,
has decided that White Oak is hard i
to beat and has again cast his lot <
with us. He has rented Mr A W
* Ward's farm and will try farm ex- i
ercise again for his "good health". 1
We welcome Mr Sauls and family in i
our midst. ]
Mr C K Eaddy spent several days ;
at Dunbar last week, shad fishing. ]
Mrs C W Ward and children vis- i
ited the former's parents, Mr and 1
Mrs J T Frierson, at Mouzons, the ]
iatter part of the week. i
Mr W S Guerry, Sr, who for some
time past has been jailor at Monck's (
Corner, will make his home in the i
- future with his son,Mr W S Guerry, ]
Jr, of this place. 1
Mr W H Scott and family made a j
brief stay to our community. They <
are ijow located near Cooper Bros' 1
stofe. t
The addition of several young la- t
dies by the recent new-comers to i t
this vicinity has had a timid effect |
on our boys, or some of them, at I
least; as we are informed that some
will not venture to call on the young t
ladies after night without "a pard- c
ner" accompanying them. ?
Mr J P Christmas, a concrete con- ^
tractor, who has been following his c
trade in Georgia for some time,is at j
home with his parents,Mr and Mrs J
E Christmas.
Mrs J A Griffith and little daugh- j
ter, Myrtle, are added to the sick ^
list. We truly hope health and hap- ^
piness will soon prevail in our lively
bailiwick. B W M.

Ruildinc or>erations are rrotrress
ing nicely, now that favorable
weather has set in. The Stackley
building, being remodeled and fitted
up for the use of Wee Nee bank, as
a banking house, is rapidly nearing
completion and it is likely that it
will be ready for occupancy bv
April 1.
The walls of the new buildings
under construction on Brooks aveaue,
to be occupied by the Peoples'
Mercantile Company and the Kingstree
Hardware Company, are going
up rapidly, those of the latter having
reached the second floor.
The new tobacco warehouse is now
under roof and fine progress towards
completion is being made each day.
The finishing touches have been
made to the new Baptist church
within the past few days. The interior
work on the large dome has
been completed, electric lights adjusted,
portieres put in place and a
handsome new piano installed. It
is the intention of the pastor, Rev
W E Hurt, and his congregation to
have the formal opening of the
new edifice the first Sunday in April.
During the past few days the two

street, for years past occupied by
Dr D C Scott an a drug store, and
